In patients with EE undergoing treatment with acid suppressive therapy, BE (mainly SSBE) is detected in approximately 12% of patients on repeat endoscopy. Patients with reflux symptoms undergoing endoscopy for the detection of BE (i.e., screening) should be treated with acid suppressive therapy prior to endoscopy to enhance the yield of BE. Alternatively, if the goal is to document BE and if EE is found at the initial endoscopy, then repeat endoscopy may be considered after acid suppressive therapy.

ALHE may present with various histologic features. Knowledge of the spectrum of benign and malignant vascular neoplasms helps manage these challenging cases.

Combined DWI and MRI showed a greater performance compared to conventional MRI alone for identification of non-palpable UDTs. Based on our findings, we can obviate the need for diagnostic laparoscopy in patients who had preoperative detection of inguinal testes or nubbins. However, laparoscopy is still needed to confirm an absent rather than undetected non-viable abdominal testes.
